Revised on 09/16/19 (Aerosol permit requirements: net weight vs. fluid ounces) 1. INTRODUCTION This document outlines FDNY regulations for storing and retail displaying of aerosol products. Aerosols make use of propellants which allow for the dispensing of a variety of products. They contain propellants and chemicals which can be flammable and hazardous, especially under certain temperature and pressure conditions.

AEROSOLS

Aerosols are classified into 3 levels: Level 1, 2, and 3. Aerosol products in cartons that are not identified shall be classified as LEVEL 3.

1.1 Permit and C of F Requirements A FDNY permit is required to store, handle or use an aggregate quantity of Level 1, 2 or 3 aerosol products in excess of 100 pounds net weight. Aerosol products stored in the containers are typically labeled in net weight quantity. However, occasionally, you may find the aerosol containers labeled in net volume quantity (fluid ounces).


The chart below shows the number of aerosol containers, by container in net weight (oz), requiring a permit and personal supervision by a certificate of fitness holder.

Permit and C of F Calculations One Can Net Weight Number of Cans

6 oz 267 7 oz 229 8 oz 201 10 oz 161 12 oz 134 14 oz 115 16 oz 101 20 oz 81 24 oz 67

As stated above, there may be a few occasions where aerosol product may be packed in the containers that are labeled in net volume quantity (fluid ounces). A conversion of 10 pounds per gallon can be used to determine the net weight of each gallon of liquid.

100 pounds (lbs) = 10 gallons of aerosol product

10 gallon of aerosol product = 1280 fluid ounces (fl oz)

1280 fl oz.

fl oz. in can

For example using 4 fl oz aerosol cans:

1280 fl oz.

4 fl oz. in can

= # of cans (requiring permit (100lbs))

= # 320 cans (requiring permit)

The chart below shows the number of aerosol containers, by container in volume (fl oz.), requiring a permit and personal supervision by a certificate of fitness holder.

Such a permit authorizes the permit holder to store, handle and use aerosols at a specific premises or location. The permit shall be posted in a conspicuous location on the premises designated therein at all times and shall be readily available for inspection by any representative of the department (FC105.3.5). A site-specific permit may be a permanent permit or a temporary permit. Permanent permits are usually valid for 12 months only. Every permit or renewal shall require an inspection and usually will expire after twelve months. Temporary permits may be valid from one day to 12 months depending on the construction/operation needed. For example, a 3-month temporary permit may be issued to a construction site. The handling and use of aerosols in quantities requiring a permit (i.e. for any establishment with an amount of more than 100 pounds of combined aerosol products) shall be performed under the personal supervision of a person holding a Certificate of Fitness. Personal supervision means that the Certificate of Fitness holder must be on the premises at the time of handling (e.g. upon the aerosols’ delivery) and use of aerosols. The storage of aerosols in quantities requiring a permit shall be under the general supervision of a person holding a Certificate of Fitness. General supervision means that the Certificate of Fitness holder supervises storage and does not have to be on the premises at all times. It does, however,

Example of combination: (fl oz. #of cans) + (fl oz. #of cans) = combined amount

8 fl oz 65 = 520 ; 19 fl oz 40 = 760 520 + 760 = 1280

65 cans and 40 cans , respectively



require the COF holder to be responsible for ensuring compliance with A-49 regulations at his/her location at all times. Locations such as Group M occupancies (Mercantile, retail stores) may certify numerous individuals to ensure that there is supervision of handling and use of aerosols at the location at all times. Where FDNY permits are required, Certificates of Fitness are necessary. Inspections are arranged by contacting the District Office at the Bureau of Fire Prevention. The FDNY permits are only issued to those locations meeting the requirements of the NYC Fire Code and Rules. Permits are not transferable and any change in occupancy, operation, tenancy or ownership must require that a new permit be issued. The Certificate of Fitness holder is responsible for making sure that all fire safety regulations and procedures are obeyed on the premises. Permits and Certificates of Fitness shall be readily available on the premises for inspection by Fire Department representatives. Failure to meet all requirements will subject the location and COF holders to fines, and criminal penalties or both.

Denial, Non-Renewal, Suspension and Revocation of Certificates Certificate of Fitness holders should be aware that they may be required to demonstrate their knowledge and proficiency in their duties related to their certificate at the time of original, renewal application, and at any time Fire Department representatives are conducting an inspection of the premises. The Fire Department can deny, not renew, suspend or revoke a certificate for misconduct, which could include the failure of the certificate holder to properly fulfill his or her duties for any reason. In addition to any other penalties provided by law, misconduct on the part of an applicant or holder of a certificate of fitness shall be grounds for non-renewal, suspension or revocation of a certificate, and denial of an application for a certificate or the opportunity to take a certificate examination. Such misconduct includes, but is not limited to:

the failure of certificate holders to properly fulfill their duties any false and fraudulent conduct in connection with an application

for a certificate or the duties of a certificate holder, including:

o false or fraudulent statements or submissions o unauthorized changes to or use of a certificate or possession

of a fraudulent certificate o cheating on an examination



o impersonating another person or allowing oneself to be impersonated

the failure to promptly notify the Fire Department of any change in

the applicant’s or certificate holder’s residence address, or work location

any other conduct that decreases the integrity or reliability of an

applicant or certificate holder compromising the integrity or confidentiality of a Fire Department

examination

1.2 Limitations and Prohibitions It is unlawful to manufacture ANY Level aerosol product in New York City. It shall be unlawful to store, handle or use Level 1, 2 or 3 aerosol products in metal cans exceeding 33.8 fluid ounces, or in glass or plastic bottles exceeding 4 fluid ounces.

Exceptions: 1. Level 3 aerosol products shall be stored, handled and used in containers

with a maximum capacity of 24 fluid ounces. 2. Pressurized ether shall be stored, handled or used only in metal

containers with a maximum capacity of 8 fluid ounces. 3. Level 1, 2 and 3 oven-cleaning aerosol products shall be stored,

handled or used in containers with a maximum capacity of 16 fluid ounces.

1.3 Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Safety Data Sheet (SDS) information must be readily available. The safety data sheet (SDS) contains specific information about the health and physical hazards of the material used, as well as safe work practices and required protective equipment. It may also describe the material's physical characteristics and procedures that should be followed in case of an emergency. For example, the SDS may list appropriate and inappropriate extinguishing agents, the level of the aerosol and health hazards associated with the material. The Certificate of Fitness holder must refer to the SDS when questions arise about how to handle, use, or store hazardous chemicals or materials. The SDS may also be requested by health care personnel to facilitate proper medical care in the event of chemical exposure. (Sample in Appendix)

3. NFPA HAZARD 704 DIAMOND SIGN EXPLANATION The basis of the system is a diamond-shaped sign that is divided into color-coded quadrants. The left-most quadrant is colored blue and represents the health hazard posed by the material. The upper quadrant is red in color and indicates the relative fire hazard. The right-most quadrant is yellow and conveys the relative potential for reactivity (instability) of the material. The last quadrant, at the bottom, is white in color and serves to convey “special” or “specific” information. The numbering system that is used to convey the hazards of a material uses a scale of 0 through 4 for each of the three hazard types (health, fire and reactivity). A number is placed in each box, specific to the material at hand. In each quadrant, a “0” represents the least concern and “4” represents the highest degree of hazard posed by a material. For instance, a “0” in the upper quadrant indicates a material that will not burn, while a “4” in the same quadrant indicates a gaseous material that will burn very readily. Intermediate numbers represent increasing levels of hazard in all categories, such as the “3” that is present in the “health” quadrant. This is indicative of a material that can cause permanent or serious injury upon exposure.

/Flammability

/Instability



4. Common Aerosols

4.1 Level 1 Whipped Cream

(Hazard Signal: Nitrous Oxide- propellant: 2 Health 0 Flammability 0 Reactivity OX Specific Hazard)

At room temperature it is a colorless gas with a slightly sweet odor and taste.

• Handling Precautions: Food and propellant filled cans should be shipped and stored under refrigerated conditions of 35°-40°F.

• Storage: Keep it refrigerated, and once opened, use within a few days Health Hazards There are no specific health hazards under correct and normal usage. When abused and inhaled at high concentrations – breathing and pulse rate increased and coordination slightly affected. Deliberate concentration and inhalation of propellant (nitrous oxide) may be harmful by creating symptoms of excitation, euphoria, dizziness with slurred speech and dulling of senses. Acute hazards are associated with inhaling oxygen-deficient atmospheres when product use is abused. Chronic repeated over-exposure may result in injury to the nervous system such as numbness and tingling of the extremities.

4.2 Level 2 Deodorant

(Hazard signal: 2 Health 2 Flammability 1 Instability)

Aerosol deodorant is a clear to yellowish solution with various scents.

Handling and Storage • Handling Precautions: Pressurized Container. Protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperatures exceeding 120°F. (~50° C). Keep from extreme cold. Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not spray on naked flame or any incandescent material. Avoid heat, sparks, flame or smoking during use. Shake can before use.



• Storage: Large quantities (as in a warehouse) should be in a cool area, away from ignition sources. Fire Hazards Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Containers may rocket or explode in the heat of a fire. Fire extinguishers: • water fog • foam • dry chemical • carbon dioxide Health Hazards • Inhalation: No adverse effects anticipated from normal use. If vapors are deliberately concentrated and inhaled (abuse), the following symptoms may occur: respiratory irritation, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, unconsciousness, cardiac sensitization, coma and death. • Ingestion: No adverse effects anticipated from normal use. For formulations containing alcohol, ingestion of large amounts may induce alcoholic intoxication. • Skin: No adverse effects anticipated from normal use. • Eye: Contact Irritation may occur.

4.3 Level 3 Spray Paint

(Hazard signal: 2 Health 4 Flammability 0 Instability) Spray paint is a mist-like liquid that is heavier than air and has a solvent like odor.

Handling and Storage • Handling Precautions: Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Follow all SDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because it may retain product residues. Avoid breathing vapor or list. • Storage: Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Do not store above 120° F. Store large quantities in buildings designed and protected for storage of



NFPA Class I flammable liquids. Contents under pressure. Do not expose to heat or store above 120°F. Fire Hazards Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Containers may rocket or explode in the heat of a fire. Fire extinguishers: • water fog • alcohol foam • dry chemical • carbon dioxide • foam Health Hazards • Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. High gas, vapor, mist or dust concentrations may be harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing fumes, spray, vapors, or mist. High vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. • Ingestion: Substance may be harmful if swallowed. Aspiration hazard if swallowed; can enter lungs and cause damage • Skin: May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Substance may cause slight skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin irritation. • Eye: Causes eye irritation. • Chronic Hazards: Overexposure to xylene in laboratory animals has been associated with liver abnormalities, kidney, lung, spleen, eye and blood damage as well as reproductive disorders. Effects in humans, due to chronic overexposure, have included liver, cardiac abnormalities and nervous system damage. IARC lists Ethylbenzene as a possible human carcinogen (group 2B). Contains Titanium Dioxide. Titanium Dioxide is listed as a Group 2B-"Possibly carcinogenic to humans" by IARC. Significant exposure is not anticipated during brush application or drying. Risk of overexposure depends on duration and level of exposure to dust from repeated sanding of surfaces or spray mist and the actual concentration of Titanium Dioxide in the formula. May cause central nervous system disorder (e.g., narcosis involving a loss of coordination, weakness, fatigue, mental confusion, and blurred vision) and/or damage.

Portable fire extinguishers shall be located in conspicuous locations, along normal travel paths, within a 30 foot travel distance, where they will be readily accessible and immediately available for use. Travel Distance is the actual walking distance from any point to the nearest fire extinguisher. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Fire Department Rule, fire extinguishers are categorized according to their



compatibility with the fuel they are expected to extinguish, or the danger of energized electrical equipment. Fuels include four basic groups: wood, liquids, metals, and animal fats; and the hazard of electrical conductivity. Further, extinguishers are designated by alphabetical letters and symbols as shown in the table below:

In case of any fire, immediately call 911. Fire extinguishers must be used in accordance with the instructions painted on the side of the extinguisher. They clearly describe how to use the extinguisher in case of an emergency. The Certificate of Fitness holder should be familiar with the use of portable fire extinguishers. When it comes to using a fire-extinguisher just remember the acronym P.A.S.S. to help make sure you use it properly. P.A.S.S. stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep. An example of these instructions is depicted in the picture below.

TIPS

A real hologram strip is 3 inches long by ¼ inch wide. Counterfeit tags will NOT have a high quality silver hologram. The hologram on a counterfeit tag will NOT change color as it is moved against the light.



If your PFE tags look different than the one pictured above, contact your supervisor. If you suspect your PFE is a counterfeit, contact FDNY immediately by e-mail: [email protected] PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSPECTIONS

MONTHLY The portable fire extinguishers are required to be checked monthly. The owner of the business is responsible to select a person to do a monthly inspection. This monthly inspection is called a "quick check". The QUICK CHECK should check if: (1) the fire extinguisher is fully charged; (2) it is in its designated place; (3) it has not been actuated or tampered with; (4) there is no obvious or physical damage or condition to prevent its operation. The information of the monthly inspection record must include the date of the inspection, the name/initials of the person who did the inspection. This monthly quick check is documented on the back of the PFE tag or by an approved electronic method that provides a permanent record.

ANNUALLY At least annually all Portable Fire Extinguishers must be checked by a W-96 Certificate of Fitness holder from FDNY approved company. After each annual inspection W-96 COF holder will replace the PFE tag. The information of the annual inspection record must be indicated on the new PFE tag.

7.2 Notifications: The person responsible for the supervision of storage and retail display of aerosol products should notify the site safety manager if an unsafe condition has been created. Any person who becomes aware of a fire or explosion or any other emergency shall immediately report such emergency to the Fire Department (Call 911). No owner or other person shall issue any directive or take any action to prevent or delay the reporting of a fire or other emergency to the Fire Department. After calling the Fire Department, the supervisor or the site safety manager or other designated person should also be notified. The Certificate of Fitness holder must know the locations of and how to operate all fire extinguishing devices, control devices, and fire alarm stations installed at the facility. In case of a fire, explosion, major spill or emergency, the Certificate of Fitness (C of F) holder must notify the Fire Department by phone immediately. The Certificate of Fitness holder must know the telephone number of the Fire Department Borough Communication Office. The borough phone numbers are listed as follows. These phone numbers must be posted near the phones most likely to be used in case of an emergency.

mailto:[email protected]



• Manhattan (212) 999-2222 • Bronx (718) 999-3333 • Brooklyn (718) 999-4444 • Queens (718) 999-5555 • Staten Island (718) 999-6666

After notification by phone, the local fire alarm must be sounded. In some cases, the activation of the fire alarm will transmit a signal to the Fire Department via a FDNY approved central station company. The C of F holder shall initiate an orderly evacuation when necessary following a hazardous incident, and take reasonable steps to isolate the hazard until the Fire Department arrives. The Certificate of Fitness holder must answer any questions asked by Firefighters and officers when they arrive. For example, he or she must indicate the location of the fire, describe the type of fire protection devices available, and describe the materials stored on the fire floor. The Bureau of Fire Prevention must be notified as soon as possible after an explosion or fire has occurred. The Bureau of Fire Prevention may require a detailed report on the causes and the consequences of the explosion or fire. Generally, this report must be filed within ten days after the incident.

Appendix C. Worst Case Scenario

1982: Kmart warehouse fire in Falls Township, Pennsylvania

The fast developing fire started in a picking area containing 40 to 50 pallets of 14 ounce aerosol containers of carburetor cleaner and sent the cans – which were dripping burning flammable liquids - rocketing through openings in the firewalls. Because sufficient heat had not yet reached the fusible links when the aerosols flew through, the fire doors were not activated, the sprinklers were overwhelmed and roof collapse ensued. Although the fire was declared controlled after nine hours, hot spots continued to flare up and final fire extinguishment did not occur until eight days later.

1999: Aerosol Container Warehouse Saint Egreve, France

On the 2nd basement level of a factory in an urban area mixing and packaging aerosols, a stock of boxed supplies stored on pallets ignited. A forklift driver, who sustained slight burns during the incident, noticed a flame ignite under his vehicle (perhaps because of a dropped and crushed aerosol canister, leading to possible gas ignition before the fire inflamed the atmosphere and quickly spread on the premises. Aerosol canisters returned by customers subsequent to a seal break might have caused this accident.



2001: “Father’s Day Fire” Astoria, NY

Dangerous and flammable chemicals including chemical containers, aerosol cans, paint cans and propane canisters were being illegally stored in the store. The fire started when two boys went looking for spray paint cans, which the store carried, and began rummaging in a storage area in the back of the store. A 15-year-old found a can and painted his tag on a nearby church, then left to get a sandwich. His accomplice, a 13-year-old, poked deeper into the storage area and moved some large barrels of propane, on top of which was a plastic bottle of gasoline. This bottle, which investigators believe was open, was knocked off the barrels and rolled down a little ramp at the bottom of which was a security door. The gasoline proceeded to leak underneath the door, which was made of heavy iron and steel. That door led to the store’s basement, where both a hot water heater and a boiler were in operation. The hot water heater’s flame is believed to have been the igniting agent that started the disaster. The 13-year-old told investigators that a flame shot out from under the basement door as he was trying to clean up the spilled gasoline. At this point, the 15-year-old arrived back on the scene and the two boys attempted, unsuccessfully, to put out the fire with some containers of rainwater that were in the yard.



2013: PS 64 School, Ozone Park, NY

Someone left an aerosol can of computer cleaner on a radiator and it burst injuring six young students. About 32 students were evaluated but only six sent to the hospital with minor injuries.

2014: Mississaugua Warehouse fire (near) Toronto, Canada

The warehouse was a storage facility for imported goods that included butane lighters and aerosol cans of insect spray, which appear to be the cause of the explosion (although the cause of the fire remains unknown). The responding fire crews were not aware that the building contained explosive materials. The explosion also blew out the windows of a fire truck and the heat melted parts of its exterior. Police were concerned that the air quality was a major concern following the Mississauga, Ont., fire because of the potential nature of the substances stored in the building.



“Aerossault”

The pictures above are of a pressurized can that exploded in a person’s vehicle and imbedded itself in the back seat of the car and through a back window. The temperature outside of the closed up vehicle was about 100 degrees F.

The incident pictured above happened at a refinery in Beaumont. A deodorant spray can was left in the back of the vehicle that was parked in an open space in the middle of a hot, sunny day.

Lessons Learned:

• Do NOT leave pressurized containers (of any kind) in your vehicle where they can be exposed to sunlight!

• You should always read and follow the manufacturer’s safety recommendations that come with the can.

• Reporting incidents such as this can help inform personnel of possible risks and dangers both inside and outside the workplace!
